How do I enter the four digit code

If I have lost the Apple TV remote, how can I set up my iPhone control center to connect with the Apple TV—when the 4-digit number appears on iPhone, how can I input that?

You would need a physical remote in order to pair with the remote app on an older model. The alternative is to restore it via computer and then pair with a BT keyboard during setup.

How can I pair to apple tv if I lost the remote and can’t enter de 4 digit code? I need to use my iPhone’s apple tv control because I lost the actual apple tv control, but in order to pair it tells me to enter a 4-digit code on the apple tv. How am I able to pair if I don’t have a control?

Pairing Apple TV with iphone remote Hi, I lost my Apple TV remote and want to use the one available on my iPhone in Control Center, but I am unable to pair it. When I try, I need to type the 4-digit code (that pops up on the iPhone screen) on the Apple TV itself, but I obviously can’t do that without a remote... Any tips on how to solve this? Thanks!
